Clutch bolt, M8 X 45. Porsche 993 Carrera RS / 964 Carrera RS  ❭  90006710301

Clutch bolt, M8 X 45
The clutch bolt provides the critical clamp load needed to fasten the pressure plate securely to the flywheel. Proper clamping ensures even pressure across the friction surfaces, allowing the clutch to engage and disengage smoothly with consistent torque transfer from the engine to the transmission. Without secure, reliable hardware, clutch performance can be compromised, leading to slippage, vibration, or premature wear.
Sold each, 9 required per vehicle.

Fits:
Porsche 964 Carrera RS 3.6L 1992
Porsche 993 Carrera RS 3.75L 1995 - 1996

Installed through the clutch pressure plate into the flywheel flange, this bolt holds heavy rotating masses together under extreme dynamic forces. It is engineered to handle the stress of high RPMs, heat cycles, and robust power delivery typical of RS-spec engines while maintaining thread integrity and torque clamping force over time.

•  OE Match thread, length, and tensile strength
•  Direct replacement - no modifications needed
•  Designed to work with original flywheel and pressure plate components

Clutch bolts are subject to repeated torque cycles, heat, vibration, and shearing forces. Over time, they can stretch, loosen, corrode, or develop compromised threads. Reusing old or damaged bolts increases the risk of uneven pressure distribution, which can lead to slipping, noises, or even component failure. High-quality bolts restore correct clamping force and help ensure dependable clutch performance and long service life.

When to replace:
•  During clutch replacement or overhaul
•  After transmission removal or major engine work
•  If bolts show thread damage, corrosion, or existing fatigue
•  When original bolts are lost or hardware has been reused previously
•  Preventive replacement on restored or high-performance engines
